The show was originally scheduled for October 31, 2012, but was rescheduled due to Hurricane Sandy.

BC: Thank you very much, Brooklyn!
My Love Is Winter
One Diamond, One Heart
Pinwheels
BC: Thank you so much, thank you! Thank you for such a beautiful reception on the last night of our tour, thank you. We hope you have a hop--happy Halloween, heh heh.
Jeff: Was a few of you.
BC: Slightly delusional. As you can see, we’re filming the concert tonight. It is in HD. Hahahaha. So we hope you have the best time, we’re so happy to be with you tonight. It was worth the wait for us, it was worth the wait for you. I salute you with my high pH water. Anyhoo. Those of you diehards know that we start the show by playing our new album, Oceania, first. We’re about halfway through that dark, mysterious journey. And then, if I’m in the mood.... As you know, Jeffrey, some reputations are earned. We get around to playing some of those dusty classics.
Jeff: Oh yeah, yeah, if we can remember them. We forget from time to time.
BC: So take that journey with us, thank you so much again for being with us. So this is the title track, Oceania.

BC: Thank you, thank you. Alright. You havin’ a good time? Jeff, you havin’ a good time?
Jeff: Yeah! Yeah, yup, yup. Maybe.
BC: Maybe? (laughing)
Jeff: No, I am.
BC: Heh heh heh. Like to introduce the band to you. Over here, Mr. Jeff “The Shredder” Schroeder. (Jeff solos) On the drums, from that far away hipster land called Portlandia, Mr. Michael Byrne. (Mike solos) What do the hipsters think of drum solos, Mike? If you had one of those big droopy mustaches, they’d be cool with it. And a--a backpack with SpongeBob or shit, you know. On the bass guitar, from Ludlow, Mass, the lovely, the beguiling...the unobtainable, Nicole Fiorentino.
I Am One (tease - Nicole plays 5 seconds of bass line)
BC: Hey, do that, I wanna do my Victor Cruz.
I Am One (tease - Nicole plays 8 seconds of bass line with accompaniment from Mike & Jeff)
BC: You want me to do my Tebow? I can’t get the virginity back but I can do the pose. Wherever you’re from, thank you so much for being here with us tonight, thank you. Jeff, you and I have traveled a lot of roads the last six and a half, seven years.
Jeff: That’s true.
BC: And wouldn’t you say that this part of the world’s treated us probably better than just about anywhere else?
Jeff: That’s true, really fuckin’ good, yeah.
BC: Now back in the day, NYC proper didn’t quite know what to think of SP. Now it makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it? Little too weird, little too psychedelic, little too solo-y. (laughing) No, I’ll never forgive you. I still got a bitter pain in this heart, whatever’s left of it. Now...as you can see from these mattress like contraptions, not only are we in HD, but we’re in 3D too. You wanna do that thing we were discussing backstage? A hahaha, heh, no.
Jeff: (off mic) Come on, come on!
BC: I’m in enough trouble for one lifetime.
Jeff: (off mic) Come on! (on mic) I miss that, I wanna see, please, please? Please, don’t you wanna see, please? Come on, come on!
Nicole: Not me with the 3D.
(sound effect of Jeff saying “Boi-yoing-yoing”)
Nicole: Just kidding, I don’t even know what we’re talking about, I’m totally faking.
BC: You were gonna do some Tom Brady shit, weren’t you?
Nicole: No! (crowd is booing) No, I would never do that.
BC: You were gonna be great and marry a hot model, what’s so bad about that?
Nicole: I guess it’s not so bad.
BC: Watch--watch the power of one word: Belichick. (loud booing) Hahaha. What a surprise, there’s a guy from New York going like this, heh heh heh.
Nicole: There’s always the one guy.
BC: Wow, it’s so new! Okay, god bless you. As we approach the end of this musical journey...(crowd groans)...oh yeah, oh yeah. We got parties to go to, we got...what do we gotta do?
Jeff: Mike’s got a DJ set.
BC: Versace Mansion, what are we doing?
Nicole: Eat sushi, gonna eat a lot of sushi.
BC: (laughing) Italian food? I’m killing my mystique. I’m killing my mystique but you know what? I don’t fuckin’ care. It’s the last show of the tour. Like Freddie Mercury, I wanna get down and make love.
Get Down, Make Love (tease - Billy sings 1.5 lines)
BC: (sings) Get down make love. Get down, (speaking) you know that one, Mike, right? No. You were an embryo when the--in your daddy’s eye. Last thing, how many old school fans we got in here tonight? From me to you, thank you for stickin’ with me, thank you. I’m so proud, I’m so proud of Jeff, Nicole and Mike for helping me continue this insanity. They said it couldn’t be done, yet here we are.
Nicole: We got it done.
BC: We got it done.
Nicole: We’re getting it done.
BC: We Tebowed our way to...to heaven. Yeah. So before we go, we’d like to play you a new new new new new song. Now normally when you’re at a concert and somebody says they’re gonna play a new song, it means time for a beer. Time to hit on the chick next to you. Time to text your friend sitting next to you. But this is one of those long--not too long--Smashing Pumpkins songs that takes you on a little bit of a journey. For those of you on drugs, this is a good time to leave...because you’re not gonna like this journey. It is called The Dream Machine.
